How to configure an exporter
Activate and configure the manual or automated connection used for payment instructions.
Written by Katrin Erb Updated Published An exporter creates a bank-specific payment instruction. Manual exporters produce a file for download; automated exporters submit the instruction through a configured bank connection.
Configure the exporter
-
Go to Settings > Office Settings.
-
Open Exporters and find the required bank format or connection.
-
Select Configure.
-
Enter the requested account, file, connection, signing or certificate settings.
-
Select Test & Save where a connection test is available.
-
Activate the exporter after configuration succeeds.
Manual and automated processing
-
Manual: Flinq prepares a file for an authorised user to download and upload through the bank's normal channel.
-
Automated: Flinq sends the approved payment run to the bank and updates its bank-processing status.
Automated payment runs always require approval. Manual payment approval depends on the Require Manual Payment Approval Office Setting.
Before using it
Confirm the supported currency, source or management account, payment format and signatory requirements. Review a representative output with the bank before relying on the exporter for live payments.
A Flinq-managed hosted SFTP exporter is available only where it has been configured and approved for the bank relationship. Confirm the remote delivery and recovery process during onboarding; do not treat hosted SFTP as a self-service option for every office.
